For SQ42, just how much interaction will we have, if any, with our wingmen or crew before battle scenes, or on the deck? Do you think we will have reason to develop a feeling of camaraderie with our SQ42 shipmates or will they, more or less, be script props?asked by Jaricho Wren

[Special Episode with answers from Erin Roberts]Well so one of the major things with Squadron 42, which is one big push we're doing is getting that feeling of making sure that you do have that camaraderie with the people on the ship the people you live with and so forth.So we're actually investing a lot of time in making sure that when you walk around, it isn't just a question of feeling like some guy just say something to you. We're really working hard on proper interaction. Not just verbal but facial the way people look at you, the way they respond to you, the way you talk to them will reflect the way they talk to back to you. Also just having a system where the people have actual jobs on a ship and jobs are wherever they are.So if they're a mechanic you can find them working on the ships at certain time, and then they'll walk to the mess hall, and they'll have food, and if you walk up to them they'll look up and they'll even look at you, and you can ask them a question and they'll respond or they may be busy. It's all these things. I know we actually invested a lot of time and a lot of the tech in the AI side and you probably heard the word subsumption used. Which is basically our system for making our characters come alive. And the way you talk to them and treat them is also the way they'll respond to you. Whether it's socially on the ship or whether it's out there in flight and so forth. So when you're out there there will be a lot of back and forth and you are, the idea is we really want you to build relationships with your wingmen and the crew around you in the game.
